Look at these photos of 4805 Pearl Rd in Cleveland Ohio and tell me
\nwhat confidence level you would have in an organization with its
\nheadquarters on this street. The building is a modest one story office building called the McIntyre Center with no signage for Power Marketiing or Data Knight.<\/p>\n
This appears to be 4805 Pearl Rd according to Google Maps.<\/p>\n
The two images below show the opposite side of the street at 4804 Pearl Rd.<\/p>\n The image below is looking Northeast on Pearl Rd. It looks a bit like Williamson Rd NW in Roanoke. Not the place you would look for a company that has access to $25 Mil and is willing to invest it in Floyd.<\/p>\n Above and below are near 4816 Pearl Rd<\/p>\n After I took the pictures you see above, I toured Pearl Rd from Stickney to Fulton and found used car lots, restaurants, churches, schools and homes. For a 15 year old company, they are keeping a low profile. They may have big dreams, but it would appear that they will need to use other people's money.<\/p>\n I would hesitate to invest in them as it looks as if they have barely enough money to rent a suite in The Station on Locust, let alone make a $25 Million investment in Floyd County Commerce Center.<\/p>\n Here is a company profile<\/a> from Manta.

That will mean jobs for our citizens!" After using Google and Google maps for an … Continue reading <\/a> <\/p>\n
